The men known to history as General Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant stood at the centre of America’s defining conflict - the American Civil War. Two soldiers shaped by duty, conviction, and the brutal attrition of war on home soil.

Grant, leading the Union forces, rose from relative obscurity through persistent resolve and an unwavering belief in preserving the nation.

The man known to history as Louis XVI of France (1754–1793) rose to the French throne in 1774, although he inherited a profound economic crisis and ever‑increasing social unrest. Academics label him an intelligent individual yet note how he was a hesitant man, unable to manage an escalating political situation that threatened his own seat of power. His endeavours to reform the government failed, the Estates‑General of 1789 unleashed revolution, and his authority collapsed after the Flight to Varennes.
